Who knows maybe I'll get better at that. Anyway this is "On Golden Wings" the wall hanging I did for the heart challenge on the yahoo group "a bead story" that Dot and I started at the end of December. Hearts are not my fav motif....but dragonflies are so this is what I came up with. Now to get started on our next challenge...Mexico....hmm maybe a couple of cold Coronas and guacamole would inspire me.....</span></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div>Cyn ~ The Wingedneedlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06482978316717055545noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274114093997170690.post-16390421912776663942010-02-24T14:47:00.000-08:002010-02-24T15:09:07.261-08:00Introducing....Gus<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8PZaWlMxAl4XsP8nynGt93lpI221bvJLp0Y0wfcqV_1K9hz_NuOSrqBMUCrhFCPsT79-Vg1uTHk8gwosRdPbeHbfXHE-bNKObvcg7Ir8j6XTBWnGQ9m3SZvd389XKMNKmNqGdoM1Txvp0/s1600-h/gus+073.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441949338645593010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8PZaWlMxAl4XsP8nynGt93lpI221bvJLp0Y0wfcqV_1K9hz_NuOSrqBMUCrhFCPsT79-Vg1uTHk8gwosRdPbeHbfXHE-bNKObvcg7Ir8j6XTBWnGQ9m3SZvd389XKMNKmNqGdoM1Txvp0/s320/gus+073.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Introducing the newest member of our family, Gus. An adorable 9 week old mini wirehaired dachsund, that my dh, Scott surprised me with on Sunday. Oh I'd seen a picture of Gus 2 weeks ago, but I knew we didn't really need another pup even though I've wanted one for sometime. I had a wirehair when I was a kid, Luke and have always wanted another to share my life. But they aren't that easy to come by and there was a litter right there in Ocean Shores! On Sunday I was out on one of my long beach walks hunting sand dollars. When I got to the jetty there was Scott waiting for me, with Gus tucked inside his jacket...my first thought was OH NO! you didn't, we don't need another pup....but then he handed Gus to me...that was it...my heart was gone. Guess we really did need another pup. </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8uLhIO4PubIP19L9BI2xUFotExHR2hp_j_Fe0Lrp5K_0HIsWeur_dKBxqXlXwO0ZlS2Tv87hwREyVE6cb1qsY2cXPGyWVJbT5UNcuK7cR7L3lUDZspYTrCY2ZwOFEyprOSyE0S8nRs6DM/s1600-h/gus+062.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441949683657848274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8uLhIO4PubIP19L9BI2xUFotExHR2hp_j_Fe0Lrp5K_0HIsWeur_dKBxqXlXwO0ZlS2Tv87hwREyVE6cb1qsY2cXPGyWVJbT5UNcuK7cR7L3lUDZspYTrCY2ZwOFEyprOSyE0S8nRs6DM/s320/gus+062.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Cyn ~ The Wingedneedlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06482978316717055545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274114093997170690.post-14587067187484003352008-06-06T09:14:00.000-07:002008-06-06T09:31:12.749-07:00I've been tagged!!<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">I was tagged by Lora for a Meme.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">1. <span style="font-size:100%;">What was I doing 10 years ago?</span> gee 10 years ago I was fighting for my life due to a dental procedure gone WAY wrong!! knocked on death's door and thankfully they didn't answer! oh and I was beading!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">2. <span style="font-size:100%;">What are 5 things on my TO-DO list for today?</span> go to work, go to the grocery store, catch up on emails, work on my BFAC project!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">3. <span style="font-size:100%;">Snacks I enjoy</span>: baby carrots (my pups like them too!), almonds, cookies, CUPCAKES!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">4. <span style="font-size:100%;">Things I would do if I were a billionaire</span>: turn shelters for animals into no-kill shelters, random acts of kindness, throw silly parties at chemo centers!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">5. <span style="font-size:100%;">Places I have lived</span>: Tacoma, WA, Riverdale, SD, Rantoul, IL, Anchorage, AK, Burley, WA, Auburn, WA</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">6. <span style="font-size:100%;">Jobs I have had</span>: oh so many! from retail management to special education to hair salon to bookstore to camp counselor to book keeper...the list goes on........</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">7. <span style="font-size:100%;">Bloggers I am tagging for this MEME</span>:</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Beki</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Ellen</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Mary</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Victoria</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Denise</span>Cyn ~ The Wingedneedlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06482978316717055545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274114093997170690.post-44279989219000066212008-05-31T09:20:00.000-07:002008-12-12T00:26:57.925-08:002007-2008 Bead Journal Project<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The day after I turned 49, June 1st I started my first BJP piece and today May 31st I have achieved 50! and am posting my BJP journey!

It is on it's way as of today via priority mail.....nothing like cutting it close it's due in Maine this Friday the 30th! I'm happy it's finished and maybe by the time it comes back to me I'll want to see it again, for now I happy it's away. The title "bloomin' idiot: a self portrait" (the self portrait part from my friend Beki Haley - thanks Beki, you make me laugh!) came from when I opened the box and saw the size of the mask. I had to ask myself "what were you thinking?" as usual I wasn't...just jumped in with out a real plan, good things can come from that, or you can make a mess - LOL! After listening to some of my friends talk about masks and how they can make them feel uncomfortable with the open eye sockets.....no soul, empty, haunting I chose to cover mine....though a white and yellow daisy just happen to end up over the eyes. Also the are small blue flowers on the nose....i call them "forget me snots"....hey I had to do something or I may have gone crazy making all those flowers</span>!</span></div>Cyn ~ The Wingedneedlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06482978316717055545noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274114093997170690.post-46399372078169968952008-03-13T13:09:00.000-07:002008-12-12T00:26:59.705-08:00Absolutely Beads 2007<div>I was fortunate enough to be include in the Absolutely Beads 2007 juried show sponsored by Beads & Beyond in Bellevue, WA.

It's quite simple really, be one of the first 3 to leave a comment here and I pledge to send you a handmade gift within the next 365 days. By leaving a comment you're pledging to post Pay it Forward on your blog making the same commitment. So come on, join the fun, keep it going!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Thank you Charlene and Beki!! this is going to be so much fun and it got me back to my blog!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Pay It Forward rules</strong>: I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange (and email me their mailing address), and who make the same pledge on their own blogs.I don't know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward meaning you will do the same for three people who comment on your blog.</span>Cyn ~ The Wingedneedlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06482978316717055545noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274114093997170690.post-14109952575130859122007-05-26T21:53:00.000-07:002008-12-12T00:27:00.185-08:00Fall's Frolic<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju8KeucL5W-XO9tIq9a8MzH-_XYoOM8RLF_AVgvP5raA7J_HOifBsjGNGvSJtHbvU7ogjBRBB0IpKgEdfB4LHoxpcsMcMXgYTmRZK1OZ-v-5iJxLIb68A4LY7eQLW-ZdUrTJCgz1jzdSOI/s1600-h/ffbcu.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069103167849419634" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju8KeucL5W-XO9tIq9a8MzH-_XYoOM8RLF_AVgvP5raA7J_HOifBsjGNGvSJtHbvU7ogjBRBB0IpKgEdfB4LHoxpcsMcMXgYTmRZK1OZ-v-5iJxLIb68A4LY7eQLW-ZdUrTJCgz1jzdSOI/s320/ffbcu.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRhMIYraZZXYw7CNQn280we-uLGLtna6g2USjNltXQVaCRrz4U2pNYeJEIUC0HJJWExvcvnE7it9TCYWl-YzVtt0kkqEsY7-_6KE-IrLQ2FCquIDawnA1i9rioPlUQL3nUzZ84zcPx5Ynq/s1600-h/fffront.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069102338920731490" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRhMIYraZZXYw7CNQn280we-uLGLtna6g2USjNltXQVaCRrz4U2pNYeJEIUC0HJJWExvcvnE7it9TCYWl-YzVtt0kkqEsY7-_6KE-IrLQ2FCquIDawnA1i9rioPlUQL3nUzZ84zcPx5Ynq/s320/fffront.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf43msm2yvwqmrx5tp0A8avNG-wtsQ9lhoeAUrY-AgmUgh98qAxlRp1ugNHJVxaCmrIlocKDlLx1r90BrEdyrtVzOQfJKQTX96DAuJ3hyRSYTrn-Ecj09bYLJjCC8AbUoJp8ZiQR5TXw05/s1600-h/fffcu.jpg"></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho5HGzUI0VsZpRTv4TKVjOJlE6EeSqGuqi5gVVxt48si6Jyv709S6yCxkegIciNak7ZN4X_COa01MW5xhjbomxz8WvgGGTrQSL7pX7GsEHZVBa68kwB8tOcniAB5Wz13FKang-MN-ggWkn/s1600-h/ffbcu.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>This is a doll I made for the Upper Midwest Bead Society challenge a couple of years ago. We each received a packet of beads and had to create something with an autumn theme using each kind of bead. The small doll on the back represents the inner child, hence "Fall's Frolic". I was honored to received an award of merit for the piece and have it on display at the Textile Center in MN. I used ultra suede for the base to do the bead embroidery and polymer clay for the faces....each comes out different depending on my mood at the time. I posted a close up of the face on the BJP blog. Bead Happy!</div></div></div>Cyn ~ The Wingedneedlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06482978316717055545noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274114093997170690.post-50284420228917164462007-05-26T19:48:00.000-07:002008-12-12T00:27:00.366-08:00Welcome!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJT1zMiC-UVwXjbiFFqNK6p5zHHMCb7l4EkxJkvtxvO14PR6bTEvQIGY3tBJPBac0keKLrsXjMdnDI50koFIAY4pNvf-7FlZeuzffL9S1WTWOJ4yfnIZVXjlqg2NXyKyihiffMjgn-YeZB/s1600-h/drmkpr1.jpg"></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWxZNhBb2VIDaMJMJ8L7efmUEKjcISwB7WcO3cumwUm9dSXrTGwM2VV7AYYTBnc1K_uw1JxwOTUMDIT5RXQ87Y2h2Cuqw6DGXuuX9C2T1xI5oVCM9xEnGlSobigpKfXrTOd4UX3bkqt5YF/s1600-h/honufront.JPG"></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiROm3yra1yCTj-v5bQa1XOA52XEyyZWHNQ5MSpHZE_8glBYH7V0gP6q2ytWikinxKKj97tSQ4849QGFfeGbmghNdCzN-jiGJsPKt3U_Yxdo5AW1ljLVJNSwCfsQfKxCefLtmyyqJeTdwGI/s1600-h/tugb.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069068992794645202" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiROm3yra1yCTj-v5bQa1XOA52XEyyZWHNQ5MSpHZE_8glBYH7V0gP6q2ytWikinxKKj97tSQ4849QGFfeGbmghNdCzN-jiGJsPKt3U_Yxdo5AW1ljLVJNSwCfsQfKxCefLtmyyqJeTdwGI/s320/tugb.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Welcome to the Wingedneedle's Nest! </strong></span></div><div align="center"> </div><div>Since this is my very first blog post....I figured it would be best to do it on my own.<br /></div><div>This is Tugger! a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, he'll be 2 years old on June 10th....pretty cute huh? just ask him, he'll tell you so!
